Creating with beautiful things ~

Some of my supplies have been with me for quite awhile.
I have to enjoy them for a time ~
This pocket watch is one of those treasures.
I've wanted to put something beautiful inside for so long
and finally decided to do it!!

A beautiful print of an antique photograph,
I think from sweet Karen of Graphics Fairy?
You can't tell in my photo but her cheeks are
ever so slightly rosy.

Perfect to hang on a knob or hook to make you smile ~
in my Etsy store too!

I had to share this pic with you....
I have a jar filled with treasures that I dump out when I'm working on
something new ~ it's filled with all kinds of stuff....

I actually made two things!!!
A simple nest assemblage inside of a shadow box too ~
Surrounded by text from an old bird book,
hand painted eggs are nestled inside surrounded by feathers.

 I love poking around on Etsy.
I've shared Cindy's beautiful jewelry with you before.
Don't you just love this necklace??!!



Cindy's wonderful necklace....

And I've always love Jamie's taste ~

Jamie's amazing digital images.....

Do you find that sometimes when you want to start a new project,

the ideas just flow like water ~

BUT

there are other times where it's hard to make even one decision!

It was one of those days for me :)

But even if it takes twice as long as it should,

it still feels so good to make something!!!

Wishing you an amazing Tuesday my sweet friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

You know how I love making things, right? Well.....

Hunting for the goodies to create with

is JUST as wonderful!!!!

Here's a precious babe image for you dear friends ~

I actually ventured out of the house and did a little treasure hunting!

(With the price of gas around here I've been very hesitant :)

"Little" is the key word here as I didn't find much, but I'm happy.....

A sweet old pattern, or maybe it's not even old....but I love the chicks!!

Oh, and it was FREE too! You gotta love free, right?

I have a teeny obsession with old leather goods ~

this is an old key ring thing....I love the aged leather.

I found this at Hobby Lobby. What is it?

It's artificial sinew. What's that?

I don't really know but knew it would be wonderful

to use to tie up twigs and such.

I found an assortment of corks too.

They are in several different sizes to fit some of the

bottles I want to alter!

I've been obsessing about this old pocketwatch....

I want to put a wonderful little assemblage inside ~

I've pulled this out too....I have GOT to make something neat from this too ~

I don't have anything good to show you that I've made....

but I sure have found some good stuff!!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with those who have suffered the awful

devastation from the bad weather we've been having lately ~

We've been spared in the past few storms.....

I hope you are doing so good.

I thank you so much for stopping by here.

And thank those who have purchased my artwork....

Have a beautiful Friday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
